Why do temperate regions have four seasons?
Answer:
That is a conquence of the tilt of the earth on its axis making the hours of daylight and the direction of the sun's rays different over the seasons, in a repetitive and cyclic pattern over the course of a year. The plant and animal life in those regions have evolved to accomodate to those changes, giving rise to dormancy in the colder, darker winter, emergence of new growth in spring, full growth and maturity of leafy plants in summer, a die off and preparation for dormancy in the fall, and so forth.
Regions near the equator enjoy four seasons. They are areas nearest to the sun while the poles are farthest. With the maximum inclination or declination of the earth, these regions either experience cold or hot climate. Without tilting, they have wet or dry season.
